(CNN) - Interesting – Obama just associated his efforts to restrain nuclear weapons with Ronald Reagan. Unexpected – but some of Reagan's policy advisers like Martin Anderson and Secretary of State George Schultz, now at the Hoover Institution, might agree. I wonder how this parallel will be greeted by the contemporary right and left.

state of union address-- terrible i think..... president obama– did not mention the people of america struggling on social security, with no raises for 2010, no nest egg,, trying to make their check last to the end of the month... WHY- PRESIDENT OBAMA DIDNT YOU MENTION THE HARDSHIP OF AMERICANS LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY WITH NO RAISES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 30 OR 40 YEARS?? THE REPUBLICANS AS WELL AS PRESIDENT OBAMA MENTION COAL AS CLEAN ENERGY-- get real, that is the dirtiest way to produce electricity, besides – president obama said - to raise taxes– he would tax coal. enough

Greeted just fine my friend. Just fine. Imagine that – Did you also hear he asked for the fine men and women on the hill that they are there to lead and deliver in unity – putting their polls at the bottom of their agenda, and not caring to their future elections and be the people of "no" – that it is not about making the "other side" get the worst head lines. Did you hear. Did you understand?
